Hand Oteri Construction a kitchen neglected for thirty years, a fixed budget and almost no lead time, and — by one August 2026 customer's account — you don't get a list of reasons why not. They did it. The only thing off the table, that customer joked, was the solid gold fixtures. The company works out of 801 Waverly Street in Framingham and describes itself as a general contractor doing high-end kitchen and bath remodeling, custom cabinetry, additions and new home construction, listing Cambridge, Somerville, Watertown, Wellesley, Sherborn and Southborough among the towns it serves. Edward Oteri is president and Nicolas Oteri director of operations, per the company; customers writing this summer name Ed, Jen and Fernando. Finish work is where the detail lands. A July 2026 homeowner described a master bath rebuilt with a custom walk-in shower, built-in cabinetry and Italian tile; another, days earlier, a curbless shower sitting flush to the floor. An August 2026 kitchen arrived with custom white cabinetry, a paneled refrigerator that blends in, brass hardware and a built-in beverage bar. That same month a homeowner wrote about a large ipe deck set with an invisible fastener system, no nails or screws showing. The jobs also get big. Reviewers this summer described a total gut renovation of a mid-century condo in a city high rise, an addition carrying a kitchen, mud room, second-floor laundry, guest bedroom and deck, and a condo in Chestnut Hill gutted and rebuilt for a reviewer's parents. Several of the recent reviewers are interior designers who brought Oteri in on their own clients' work. On the practical side: a July 2026 customer wrote that the project stayed on time and very close to budget, and a 2025 reviewer who has hired them since 2011 said Ed shows up when he says he will and comes back with an estimate and a start date. Reviews run from 2017 to now — 5 stars across 37 Google ratings, 4.9 across 10 on Houzz. Houzz lists a home contractor licence, #136032, and a 2014 Newton Preservation Award for historic renovation and condo conversion; the company itself claims a NARI Remodeler of the Year award. Check that licence number against the Massachusetts register yourself. If your job is a kitchen, a bath or an addition where the cabinetry and tile have to be right, this is a fit. One 2025 reviewer said a set of custom built-ins took some time, so pin the schedule down in writing, and ask for the registration and insurance before anyone starts.
“the second floor renovations are completed by Oteri Construction, Inc. – run by Ed and Jen Oteri of Watertown.”
“a good all-purpose contractor which will do jobs both big (like the Trapelo site) and small (repair a door lock) which is becoming a rare business in this age of specialisation.”
Pleased to recommend Oteri Construction. They renovated 2 baths and a mudroom for us. They don't take shortcuts, do quality work in a timely and professional manor and at reasonable prices.
I mean the work just speaks for itself. Everything feels fresh, modern, and thoughtfully done. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and you can tell that a lot of care went into every detail. I couldn’t be happier with the transformation. It feels like a completely new bathroom! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to update or remodel their bathroom. Excellent work, great attention to detail, and a beautiful final result.
I challenged Oteri Construction with an impossible task: rejuvenate my kitchen (after over 30 years of neglect) for a certain budget, in a certain time frame, and with little lead time. Instead of saying it couldn't be done, they did it. (OK, the solid gold fixtures were a no-go.) We just stand in it and stare.
As an interior designer, I am looking for a contractor committed to flawless execution and great to work with. Oteri does both.
We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen! Oteri Construction completely transformed the space the custom white cabinetry is beautifully done, from the paneled refrigerator that blends right in to the little details like the brass hardware and the built-in beverage bar. The marble island countertop is stunning and has become the heart of our home. The craftsmanship is evident everywhere you look, clean lines, perfect finishes, and everything feels custom-built for how we actually live. The team was professional, communicative, and clearly took pride in the work. We get compliments on this kitchen constantly. Highly recommend Oteri Construction for anyone considering a renovation.
